2. 1. Iron absorption in man - diet modification and fortification

   Author : Michael Hoppe; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : Iron absorption; Serum iron; Relative bioavailability; Elemental iron; Iron bioavailability; Iron fortification; Dietary modification; Developing countries;

   Abstract : Background: Iron (Fe) deficiency is globally the most common form of nutrient deficiency. The approach to combat this problem can be divided into two major strategies a): increasing the dietary Fe bioavailability by diet modification, or b): increasing the Fe intake through fortification.

4. 2. Food habits in Swedish adolescents. Meal pattern, food choice and bioavailability of iron 1994 and 2000

   Author : Agneta Sjöberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; adolescent nutrition; food habits; interview; meals; dietary iron; iron fortification; bioavailability; energy intake; energy expenditure; doubly labelled water;

   Abstract : The general iron fortification of white wheat flour was removed after 50 years of iron fortification. It was considered important to evaluate the effects of withdrawal of iron fortification among vulnerable groups in the population. Adolescents have high iron requirements for growth and the girls for menstrual losses. READ MORE

5. 3. Characterization of PAH-contaminated soils focusing on availability, chemical composition and biological effects

   Author : Magnus Bergknut; Mats Tysklind; Dag Broman; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons; PAHs; availability; bioavailability; chemical analysis; characterization; GC-TOFMS; bioassay; toxicity; biological testing; multivariate methods; PCA; PLS; Environmental chemistry; Miljökemi;

   Abstract : The risks associated with a soil contaminated by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are generally assessed by measuring individual PAHs in the soil and correlating the obtained amounts to known adverse biological effects of the PAHs. The validity of such a risk estimation is dependent on the presence of additional compounds, the availability of the compounds (including the PAHs), and the methods used to correlate the measured chemical data and biological effects.

6. 4. Effect of local food on lumefantrine bioavailability and population pharmacokinetics in Ugandan children with malaria

   Author : Norah Mwebaza; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Background. Artemether-lumefantrine (AL) is widely adopted as first-line treatment for uncomplicated malaria. Lumefantrine (LUM), the long acting partner drug is critical for cure by eliminating malaria parasites left after artemether exposure. READ MORE

7. 5. Measurement and source apportionment of ubiquitous soot black carbon in sediments

   Author : Marie Elmquist; Örjan Gustafsson; Per Andersson; Wulf Amelung; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Environmental chemistry; Miljökemi; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

   Abstract : The pyrogenic particles formed from incomplete combustion of organic matter are often termed black carbon (BC) and they partake in many important biogeochemical processes. For instance, BC in water and sediment affects the solid-water partitioning of hydrophobic organic pollutants reducing their bioavailability. READ MORE
